description Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have witnessed significant growth in various domains, such as agriculture, disaster management, and remote health management systems. However, the use of UAVs necessitates secure and efficient solutions that uphold privacy during task distribution. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a novel architecture for privacy-aware task distribution in UAV communication systems. Our approach leverages the benefits of blockchain and smart token-based identification within the proposed architecture, ensuring decentralized, transparent, and tamper-proof operations. By adopting a crowdsourced task distribution model, our approach further optimizes task assignment among UAVs while prioritizing data privacy, user access control, and scalability. The architecture is designed to enhance fault tolerance, enabling seamless operation under dynamic and unpredictable conditions. We present a comprehensive implementation details of a proof-of-concept prototype of our proposed architecture, detailing its design and functionality. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility, efficiency, and adaptability of our approach in diverse real-world scenarios, highlighting its potential for broader adoption across UAV applications.
